'6B, or has not, a legal right to a certain charge entailed upon the property of the parish, from the do nation of some owner of that property at a remote period. If the claim be legal, there is no abuse or exaction in it if not, it does not exist. Further, we • doubt the writer's assertion, that Parliament ever re 'gulated the revenues of the church. Henry VIM, by an act of individual tyranny; seized upon a large part of the property of the Church, and applied it to the purposes of Court corruption : but in this, if Parlia ment had any thing to do, it was merely as the tool of that monarch's arbitrary power. It would appear that hostile movements were going on in the South 'Western part of India, at the very moment we were besieging Bhurtpore. Letters from Madras mention that the Rajah of Kolapoor, havin'g &UM in keeping some of the terms of the late treaty, brigade of troops, under Lieut. Colonel TAY LOR had been despatched against him in December last, and, according to the latest accounts, was encamped within a few miles of Kolapoor, waiting the RAJA it's answer to our demands. A statement was afloat that the Rajah had made preparati oils for a vigorous defence, brit we ratherthink the treatment ofhis neighbours at Kittoor on afonner occasion would operate as a caution to him. The town of Kolapoor is described as being well built, and situated in a valley between a curved range of hills, which protect it on three sides, and moun tains at the distance of seven miles. The fort does not appear to be very strong, and depends more 'on the ditch for security than any other part of the defences. Two forts, which are sa id to b e strong, anti , pernaps are so from situation, stand in the range . of mountains which shuts in the valley ; but all com munication between them and the town might be cut off with case. The Rajah is represented as being a man of rather a fierce aspect, a great sportsman, and expert in all the arts of native warfare. The cholera had unfortunately made its appearance in our camp, and in many instances proved fatal. We have received. Cape Town Gazettes to the 12th of May, but they are entirely destitute of interest. Accounts from Hayti, by way of' France, to the 23d of June, state that a regular packet conveyance from Port-au-Prince to Kingston in Jamaica had been established. The English Consul-General is report . ed to have met with serious difficulties in arranging • , the commercial relations with England. Extract of a letter from Santiago de Chile, dated April 19, 1826 :—" This Government has sold to the State of Buenos-Ayres the frigate Maria Isabel, and the corvettes Independencia and Cltaca6ueo : they will go round to the River Plate and endeavour to raise the blockade." . The finaircial state of Spain, now that an impro'ved situation of affairs has taken place in Portugal, is at - erecting very general attention, and various propo sitions, it is said, have already been submitted for restoring it to a wholesome condition. O ne o f t h e most eminent capitalists in this city, it is said, has taken the lead on this occasion. His plan is to convert the Cortes Bonds into a kind of deferred stock, and to cancel the arrears of interest. One quar ter of the whole amount, he proposes, should at once be inscribed as a debt, bearing interest, and that, of the remainder of the bonds, 10 per cent. should every year undergo the same process. Spain is to be required as a proof of sincerity in the contract, to send two noblemen of the strank to England, as negociators for its conclusion ; and this.step having satisfied the leading capitalists of . London and Parit, a coalition would be formed among them to advance such further sums, in the shape of a loan, as the state of Spanish credit and resources should be found to justify. Such a scheme as this, it is evident, is at-all events, too early, and that if any attempt should be made to carry it into effect now, it must inevitably fail. All the old objections against lending money to Spain remain in full force, and will do so, while the present Government exists. A poli tical reform of some kind must precede the regenera tion of Spanish finance, and we think that those who who engage in it beforehand will commit no small in discretion, and may even retard the arrival of that pe riod when the undertaking can alone be commenced with safety.-- Times.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tins DST.) His Loanssur requested that the hearing of the Lunatic Peti tions might be continued, otherwise 'he thought he never would get through them. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. COWST HARRIS. Mr. H. hoped the Court would excuse his wishing to know whether he was to understand that his Lordship did or did not make the order in this case, calling upon the receiver to pay into Court the sum of 19,7141. the amount reported by the Master due• His LORDSHIP understood that there was another petition pre sented in the case. Mr. HART observed, that the Court had intimated that it would not allow that petition to be advanced, if it was meant to interfere with the order calling upon the receiver to pay the money. His LORDSHIP said, if it was not to interfere with that order the parties would take the order. Mr. HAAT said the petition went directly to the order. His Loansnse then desired to have it, because it was impossi ble that the Court should he led through the scenes of this case every morning. Mr. SHADW ELL opened the petition. It was the petition of Messer.. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes; and it prayed that they might be at liberty to deposit in the Master's Office certain secu rities, equal to the sum Mr. Robertson might be ordered to pay into Court, and that those securities might be considered sufficient to be received in lieu of the money. The petition stated, that on the 11th of March, 1822, the petitioners entered upon the conduct and management of the Theatre, under an agreement of that date, entered into between themselves and Mr. Harris; and that they continued in that management until the 17th of May, 1824. That when they took upon themselves that management, they found the theatre in debt to the amount of 66,6711. 1411. 3d. ; that the receipts during those two years amounted to 124,7234 and the nightly expence of carrying on the theatre in the course of the same time, 119,94.5/. I9s. 2d. After stating details of account+ the petition set forth that 23,000/. and a fraction, was the differ ence between the receipts and the payments. It stated, that when the petitioners became the managers, in 1822, they gave bonds and bib of 'exchange to tame of the creditors, and that to the discharge of those, the whole of the 28,0001. had been applied ; that other creditors having pressed for the payment of their claims, the petitioners, out of their own private resources, raised no less than 21,0001. which they applied in the further reduction of the 66,000/. and a fraction ; that the securities for the aunt of 21,000/. had been transferred to the petitioners, and were what were now proposed to be lodged in the Master's office. The petition further stated the order of the Court of the 17th of May, 1824, directing a meeting of the proprietors, to agree upon a way of managing the concern, and applying the receipts. That the proprietors ac cordingly met, and directed the items of payment, which the Mas ter had subsequently disallowed, by which the balance against the Receiver, appeared due. They submitted, that under that order they were authorised to give the directions they did that the Receiver having done as they had required of him, he was not to blame; that in honour they were bound to protect him, and hoped this explanation would he satisfactory. Mr. Lowxers was on the same side. His clients considered themselves having the full authority of the Court to direct the application of the funds, and they felt absolutely bound to protect the receiver from ruin, which would follow an order upon him, without being backed by the petitioners, to pay the money into Court, lie having only a salary of 4001. a you.. The Court, on a former occasion, stated that the decree made by his Honour the Vice, prevented the Court's selling the Theatre, bet thapetitioners were now anxious to state, that that decree was appealed from; that they hoped they would get rid of it; and that they had no objection to its being advanced, that the Court might be enabled to make an order for the sale of the property, which the peti tioners were most anxious for, because they saw nothing but ap proaching ruin to all parties concerned, if the Theatre continued to go on as it had lately done. Mr. HAAT appeared fer Mr. Const, and opposed the petition. He considered that the' petitioners now began to feel the un righteous stipulation they had inserted into their deed of 1822, w;th* view4r4sust Mr. Const of his right, and, that according the co of this country, justice, if steadily pursued, cons every man's door. The petitiouers' case was, that they the Receiver out of the hands of the Court, and convertialMin into their serving, snaking him obedient to their otenittliiltis entirely. Rather than consent to the substitu tion. Mr ! . OR ADWE L I, now proposed, he (Mr. II.) would }fray the Coureto.dissnias the motion against the Receiver. Mr. SRC DEN was Counsel for Mr. Harris, who, he considered, had been very harshly treated, though he hail more interest in the theatre than all the three petitioners : his share was seven twelfths. He hoped the petition would he dismined with coats, because a more bold and improper one be never saw presented. Mr. Snanwatx, in reply, did not think Mr. Hartle dissent of so much importance as his client's dipent, in the Master's Office. He had there assented to a goat many of the items of payment. Mr. Harris bad, indeed, dissented, but thit disient had been re. ceived in the Master's Office, per letter, too late to be effectual. His !mensal, intimated, that whatever the petitioners eopsi dered the order of the Court of the 17th of May, 1824, to mean, the real meaning of the order clearly was, that at the meeting di rected tottake place, the proprietors should propose and agree upon items of conduct, and that then, before they gave their directions to the Receiver, they should apply to the Court for its sanction, but they never came near it. This was, upon the first blush of it, the most hopeless application that could possibly have been made. It was utterly impossible for any man on earth to suppose, that the Receiver could be allowed to deduct out of the receipts what be had thought proper to pay in discharge of the bonds and bills of Exchange. The Court was much surprised at the petition ; it would, however•, take the affi davits made in support of it, look into them, and all the other Papers between this and to-morrow, with a view to know whether. the Court could model the order upon the Receiver in any way, with respect to the taxes, and some other items, the non-payment of which might have occasioned the shutting up of the theatre.— The whole struggle here had been to set the Court at nought. Mr. Stranwett thought it one of the most just applications that had ever been made to the Court, whatever technical diffi culties might stand in its way. He had been consulted upon it. and had advised it. His Lottnsnir had no doubt, notwithstanding what he had said, that if he had been at the Bar and consulted upon it, he also would have advised the presenting of the petition, but he thought no Counsel could ever have advised the application of the receipts of the house to the discharge of the bonds and bills, without the ,Court's express directions. Mr. SIIADWXLL considered it impossible to look at this case without bearing in mind the obstinacy and refusal of Messrs. Curia and Harris to do any thing in a case in which it was ab solutely necessary for some persons to act, that the concern might go on. His Lonnixte's opinion was, that theatrical gentlemen would have to learn as well as any body else, that when a Receiver was appointed, be was to act under the order of the Court, and no one else. judgment would not h e dela* beyond to. ----- morrow. His hoped His ',ormolu assured him it should not. The Court went on with the Lunatic Petitions. CORONER'S INQUEST. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. Yesterday evening at „ seven o'clock, an i nqu i s i t i on was taken before I'. HlGGs,sq. in the Committe e R oom, at E the Westminster Hospital, on the body of William Bass a pauper in St. Margaret's Workhouse, who was killed by being rum over on Tuesday last i n St. Martin's-huie, by a d u w aggon. The Airy returned a verdict of Manslaughter against "ham Murray, the driver of the waggon. ------ /3 AWFUL JUDGMENT ON A D AlLirr.—A writ against a person living near Vauxhall Bridge had been lodged with Towhee/Id, one of the Sheriff's officers for Surrey, and by him transferred to one of his men for execution. The man accordingly repaired yesterday morning to the residence of the party, knocked, powiarvn tlli,eheaentleonf men, a s c m in a g y h b i e s and no suspicion exieting, was admitted. Ile immediately ad vanced to the object of his pursuit, produced his authority, and n th e shoulder, when he dro t down in a fit, and instantly ex pcaption with the usual familiar taps un expected occurrence, to make good his escape. Information was transmitted to Mr. Carter supposed, availed himself of this , of the event, by whom an this afternoon be held. STREET Itoßn EßY.—Between the hours of one a and twwas o o'clock yesterday m orn i ng, a gentleman resid i ng at Ful hne, robbe ar the Bell and Horn sovereign a s, at K n i wbc, escaped with the g nd 10s. in silver, by a women' htsbridge, amd of with two of the Bow street p atro l e , W arren an d S m i thery, to whom he mentioned the circumstance, and from the d escr i pt i on given of her person, they this morning a ppr e h em d e d a f emale in Tothill-street, 'Westminster, property. Soon aft er , h owever, he met 4m suspicion of the robbery, and found on her person a shawl and other articles, which she had recently purehaa a d, Warren also ascertained that she had changed a sovereign to procure the shawl. POLICE 11•ITETAIOVCE. QUEEN-SQ UARE. Tors DAT.) ROBBERY AT THE BRUNSWICK HOTEL. Two men, named Chandler and Miles, denominated !‘ running ,dustmen," w h o h ave b een i n custo d y some days, charged with a robbery in the house of Mr. Barna bas Blake, the p ro p r i etor of the Brunswick Hotel, in Ha nover-square, were brought - up for final examination. It appeared from the evidence that the two prisoners, in company with a»other not yet in custody, went to the house of Mr. Blake, on Friday week last, and obtained admission under a false pretence, by saying that they were sent to sweep the kitchen-flue; the head waiter let them in as he was going out. The prisoners then, in the absence of the other cements, proceeded into the laun dry, and stole therefrom two large bundles of wearing apparel, the p ro p erty of three female servants. On the robbery being discovered, A n d rews, Mr. Blake's regular sweep, was sent for ; he disclai me d a ll k nowledge of the thieves, and ascertained that they carried on the trade as ‘ 4 running dustmen ;" he had not sent away any person that morning to Mr. Blake's house.-- An officer was procured, andthe two prisoners were apprehended in Duck-lane, W es t m i nster. In the lodgings of Miles was found an apron, one of the stolen articles, which a servant, named Mary Lynch, identified as belonging to her. Mr. Blake said, at the time of the robbery he was in the coun try, but it was the duty of his porter to have watched the men. Both the prisoners stoutly denied the charge. It being now intimated to the Magistrate, that there was every chance of the prisoner's companion, Harry Hope, being appre hended, they were again remanded for further examination. B OW - STREET-.—(Tits DAY.) Joeepli Gillinaets was charged with stealing a quantity of lead and copper from the premises of Airs. Gardner, of Golder's of green. It appear e d th at the prisoner was stopped on Friday night, by Jenning s , out the patrol, with the property, and in answer to enquiries, stated that he had purchased it for a half sovereign; they, however, took him to the vratchhouse, and on making inquiries, found that he had been living at the shove place. Mrs. Gardner, who is now in France, sometime since had her premises destroyed by fire, and the prisoner was employed to collect the lead, &c. from the ruins, and to place it in a coach house; and as that which WWI found on him corresponded ex actly with that in:the coach-house ' Mr. Alinsuutt. felt conv inced that he had taken it there from. The prisoner stated that be found it on the road and was coming to town to sell it. The officers said he had told several different stories as to his obtaining possession of it. Mrs. G. had sent her coachman to take care of the pro perty the day before the prisoner was taken ; but as he could not swear to the property, Mr. MiNsilut.i. observed, that as there was no evidence to prose the theft, he should fine the prisoner toe., according to the late Act, for having property in his possession which he could not account for. 51 ARLBOROUGH-STREET.—(Tats Day.) Within the month ending on the 11th of August, there have been committed to the different prisons, for various offences, 273 prisoners from this office; 109 from Marylebune, and 148 from Bow-street; besides 144 committed . to TothiU-fields Bridewell from this office only. Jahn Herring, an odd fish, and a tailor of course, was charged by watchman with occupying a horizontal situation across the pavement last night. He was also charged with being as drunk as a beast. He was fined 51. ; but pleading great poverty, and a small family, the Magistrate said he would discharge him, if he could get a respectable persOn to give him a good character. An athletic young coalheaver, was charged by Eleanor Berry, with an assault. The complainant, a dirty looking woman of a genuine Irish cast, and the usual truly Irish appendages, a rich brn_ , ue and a black eye, dropped a perpendicular, of about a font ind a half, as she approached the Magistrate, till the tattered hem of her dingy kilt-like garment swept the floor, and began with " Plait yer honors scuricAip, I was last night in the Hand and Crown, and that 1111111 he called me durthy Nelly Cook, that's my maiden name, yer scurtchip, an I tould him I wax a decent scum man, and the mother of eight childer, win he give me aft/Pack wid a quart pot, an if I hadn't had an arm I should have been brained, yer tour/chip." The prisoner called the landlord to prove that she bad first as saulted him, by whose evidence it appeared she had been the whacker instead of the whackee, ar.d ultimately the Magistrate ordered both to find bail. Thomas .lones, Henry Coonr. end (Mork: Phillips, iuere charged I) ) Mr. Emanuel, a clotheunitn, with having stolen a hat. It appeared th e p r i soner Jones went law klis estansible, purpose of buying a hat, but _one of Alp °than tack*, Jibs of ozoblioging one, they were followed and telteat ;....-all ' 1 . 4 - HATTON GARDEN.—(Tx DAT.) Anthony Rriggs, man of Herculean stature, was charged by Watson, and nine other Charley., with violently assaulting, them in the execution of their duty. Watson said that shortly after twelve o'clock, last night, the defendant appeared on his beat, and very politely informed him that he had recently got the better of Sir Richard Birnie, at Bow street ; that he had " tanned" some half dozes of the dismount ed patrol, and was now determined to try the mettle of the Saffron-hill boys. Witness told him he had much better move on, an the trial might probably turn out to his disadvantage ; but this was of no avail, and his conduct at length became so violent, that he was at length determined on having him secured, though he did not care to attack so powerful a man singly. He accordingly sprang his rattle for assistance, and was accommodated, instanter, with a pat on the side of the head, which brought him in immediate contact with the pavement. Several watchmen came to his aid, and were complimented by the prisoner in a similar manner, who teas at length overpowered by numbers, and compelled to measure his extra length in the car riage way, where, however, he wrested a staff from one of them, and by the good use be made of it, and his legs, contrived to keep them all at bay, and defied their utmost exertions for a eonsider able time. He was ultimately secured in the watch-house. Prisoner in his defence said that he was a stranger in London, and having taken a glass too much, he supposed he affronted the gentlemen, but he did not mean to hurt any of them. Mr. Sergeant Sit.t.on said that was very unlikely, seeing the state some of them were in. He (prisoner) did not appear to be a stranger to the ways of London, if he was to the place itself. Briggs—Why, bleu your Worship, we do the same in the country now and then, but (here he saw Waddington, one of the Bow-street patrol) here's a little gentleman, your Worship, will say whether I injure any of the patrol. Waddington said, that between eleven and twelve be was on duty with others in Holborn, the prisoner introduced himself to their notice by requesting, as a particular favour, to fight any six of them. This was declined, and he would have been locked up hut for a promise to go quietly home. Mr. Sergeant Set. Lon said, that, under all circumstances, he might settle with those he had injured, or he must find hail, and advised him not to be seen there again. MIDDLETON, near Manchester, AUGUST I I. A poor widow, left with twelve children, and residing at Heabers near this place, has this afternoon cut, her throat with a weaver's " loom knife!" She is not. yet dead, and is capable with diiliculty of express i ng h erself. It appears the family w ere quite destitute of necessaries. She had applied to the overseer (a young lad, eighteen or nineteen years of age), who referred her to the Vestry Meeting. In the meantime she was taken ill and could not attend, and has been destitute, and perhaps forgotten since, until, having endured as long as nature could bear, she has laid violent hands upon herself. Our Committee for the distribution of the London Charity have ceased for the present to grant relief to the poor. ACCIDEN T BY DROWNlNG.—Y es t er d ay evening a reapectable y oung man, name d H enr y B ates, whose friends reside in Vauxhall, was unfortunately drowned while bathing in the river near Battersea. The deceased was swimming at some dis tance out, when noticed suddenly to difkapptin., and he not rising soon after, an itninediete alarm was given, hut although several persons went to render the unfortunate loan their assistance, he was seen to rise no more. It is supposed he had been taken with the cramp, and sunk into one of the sand-holes near the Spot. HAY MARKET (At per Load o_ gr. JAMES'S.

PAARIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. WINDSOR, AUG. 14.—Divine service was ye,ster day perform e d a t th e N ew Ch ape l Royal, by the Bishop of Landati, and not by the Dean of Salisbury, as re presented. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, his MAJESTY, with part of his august visitors and attendants, left the Royal Lodge in three phaetons and an open carriage. His MAJESTY, in his phaeton, with the Duke of Wellington, took the lead ; and after taking some drives in the Great Park, proceeded by the private drive to Frogmore Lodge, and into the Home Park, and to the Castle. His MAJESTY drove through the New Grand Entrance into the Quadrangle, which he drove round, but did'not alight. On leaving the Castle, he drove round the New Terrace, and along the top of the declivity of the New Plantations, as far as Mr. Ingall's Lodge, and again by Frogmore Lodge entered the Great Park ; where, after taking some drives, his MAJESTY returned to the Royal Lodge at seven o'clock, and at half-past seven honoured his guests and distinguished attendants with his company to dinner. After dinner, the Duke of Wellington took leave, and left the Royal Lodge for his seat in Hamp shire. Lord Graves also took leave, and left for town. The other distinguished personages still continue on their visit to his MAJESTY. Yesterday, about half-past twelve o'clock, the Duke of York left Mr. Greenwood's villa, at , Brompton, at tended by Sir Henry Halford, in his travelling carriage and four, for the Kin g ' s Pavilion, Brighton, where his Royal Highness has gone by the advice of his physi cians, for the benefit of his health. Sir Herbert Taylor transacted military business with his Royal Highness yesterday morning, previous to his departure. Part of his Royal Highness s household left at an early hour for Brighton. The Royal Duke rode out twice on Sunday in his cabriolet, for upwards of an hour each time, in the neighbourhood of Brompton. The Princess Sophia visited his Royal Highness on Sunday, to take leave of her Royal brother. The Princess Augusta left her residence at Frog more yesterday, attended by Miss Wynyard, for Bog nor, Sussex. The Duchess of Gloucester proceeded from Frogmore, where her Royal Highness had been staying on a visit to the Princess Augusta, to her seat at Bagshot. The Countess of Eldon, we are happy to say, was better yesterday. Mr. Dawson, Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, arrived in town yesterday from Ireland, and transacted business at the Home Office. Despatches were yesterday received at the Foreign Office, from the Bight lion. Frederick Lamb, our Ambassador at Madrid, and also from Lord Granville, our Ambassador at Paris. Lord Deerhurst's yacht, the Mary, of Cowes, owing to the prevalence of a heavy wind from the S.W., ran into the port of Newhaven, on Friday af ternoon, and on making her way up to a proper moor ing -birth, by some accident, she ran foul of the stairs attached to his Majesty's ship Hyperion, partly carried them away, and stove three of the frigate's boats, the yacht receiving partial damage from the shock. LYMINGTON, AUG. 12.—0 n Monday morning last, two young gentlemen, sons of Charles Dodd, Esq. of Pennington, near this place, proceeded in their boat on an excursion to Cowes. On their return in the afternoon, and when arrived somewhere between Hurst Castle and Yarmouth, they encountered a squall of wind, which. capsized the boat, and sent it with the youths.to the bottom. Their hats, and the oars of the'boat 'were taken up the same afternoon, but all endeavours witch haVe been since made to recover . the bodies hive proved unsuccessful. " Hal long have you been in this nutshell of a room ?" said T. Hooke to a young ensign last week. " Not long enough to be a kernel,' (colonel) was the reply.

YATES ,AND TIIE BLIND FIDDLER.—At New castle-upon-Tyne there resides an old tiddler, a cha racter well known there by the name of " Blind Willie," with whom the great imitator (Matth e w s ) was a l wa y s so much amused - , that on his visits to Newcastle he invariably has him sent for. One day, at a party, a wag (a friend of Yates), during his stay in that town, being delighted with his close imitation of Matthews, was determined to put his mimic powers to a further test, and had the old man sent for, carefully concealing from him who it was that wanted him, and mentioned it was an old friend. On his entering the room, Yates, in imitation of M a tth ews , accoste d him— " AC! Willie, my boy, how d'ye do ?—Glad to see you !—Hope you re well !—You look very well ! Sit down, my old boy !" The sightless veteran im mediately exclaimed, " What, is it Mr. Matthews ? How do you do ?—I have not seen you for some time ; why, they never told me you was here." The illusion was complete—the conversation was kept up for a length of time, and interspersed with several songs, when the old man departed, taking a grateful leave of the supposed Mr. Matthews, and as highly delighted with his reception as the company were with the unparalleled excellence of Yates's mimic powers.

G. CHERRY. THE We had great pleasure in observing in the Gazette of last Tuesday, the appointment of Dr. COPLESTON, Provost of Oriel College, to the Deanery of Chester. The eminent services which this distinguished scholar has rendered to the University of Oxford, and therein to the Church and Country, are not perhaps so gene rally known as they should be. He was, at an early period, distinguished for his scholastic attainments ; and on being elected Fellow of Oriel (without any so' licitation on his part), became the principal itlpporter of its fame, in the capacity of tutor. To the Uni versity at large he rendered the important service of standing forth as its champion against the continued series of malignant attacis with which its pem e din gs were assailed by the Edinburgh Review. The two pamphlets which he produced on that occasion have been justly admired, as master-pieces of triumphant argument ; and the calumniators, until very recently, were completely silenced. Dr. Copleston was one of the first and most zealous promoters _of the improved system of the University Examinations, which has of late years reflected so much honour upon it; and since his election to the headship of his College, he has been invariably looked up to with respect and attach ment by every member of the society, whilst he has been always the assiduous and vigilant guardian of its welfare, and the zealous maintainer of its discipline and scholastic reputation. His discharge of the more public functions which f e ll t o hi m i n t h e University has been always such as to insure him a scarcely less share of the esteem and approbation of the body ; whilst his two el a b ora t e works, his Preleetions, deli vered when Professor of Poetry, and his Discourses on Predestination, besides several minor productions, have placed him in the. highest rank as a scholar and a divine. It has been very confidently stated that Mr. Benson would succeed Dr. Rennet as master of the Temple; we understand that this is now very much doubted in the clerical circles. We have heard one two other individuals named. FOX HUNTING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stet,---I was astonished to see an attack on Fox hunting in your paper of the 7th August. I had always considered the Sun as a sporting paper, and cannot help thinking that you have given insertion to the article in question without your usual discrimina tion. What you say may apply to some " meat For followers," as Cowper calls them ; but a more maply and noble recreation cannot surely be named, if taken in moderation. Far be it from me to vindicate those acts of violence into which men may be led in the heat of the chase ; but with all its faults, I hope English Gentlemen will never lose their taste (however they may curb it) for their national sport. AN ADMIRER OF MANLY RECREATION. THE NEW PALACE, ITS GARDENS, &c. So manifold are the alterations and additions made ro the new Palace for the Xing since its elevetion was two thirds carried up, that architects are of opinion it will occupy several years in the completion. Mr. Nash, who has the uncontrouled management of this structure, although enthusiastically fond of the Corinthian, means to adopt, we believe, the lonic order. It will be decidedly the most superb structure seen since the days of the proud Duke of Somerset. The garden view will be admirable. On the mound (we may call it a mountain from its height and extent), which shuts out. what are now called the Mw Mom, will be erected a vast reservoir, amply supplied with water from the Serpentine River. Prom this mountain will de 'wend numerous rivulet*. Their waters are to *newer a double . purpose, i. e. supplying: numerous fountains, and.diffuong life and verdure throughout the maipii; ficent garden'. ' The inequality of the ground will afford every moment new points of view. The principal al leys will answer to different summits and one in . parti cular, will have a very agreeable effect, by terminating by the grand front. of the Palace. From this point will be seen, at one view, five fountains ornamented with elegant groupes, rising into an amphitheatre, above which will appear the summit of a hill covered with lofty pines. The most remarkablh of the groupes will be that of Neptune. Genius will preside at the composition, and in the choice of situation : the Deity of the Ocean will appear erect, surrounded by his marine court. ATROCIOUS MURDER. IN INDIA. By a communication from the district of Afoauffiirpore, we learn that a moat atrocious murder was committed in a village called Buasuntpore, on the 28th of January, by a petty Rajepoot Zemin dar, by name Doorgopaul Sing. This villain entered the village with an armed hand of 600 men, two elephants and four horses. Their object appeared to be plunder, for they began immediately to rib the villagers' kallians or granaries of paddy, and carried away about one thousand maunde. The poor villagers implored for mercy, but Doorgopaul Sing, descended from his elephant, and with his own hands ,cut two of the bye-standers to pieces. After committing this horrible murder, he had the dead bodies placed upon his own elephant, aid made off with his banditti. One of the deceased was a Musaul man peon belonging to Mr. G. Palmer, who farms lands about the place ; the other was a Hindoo, named Jubber Thour, Ryot. On quitting the village of Buteuntpore, after eonunitting this crime, (which was perpetrated tdiout three o'clock in the after noon, in the presence of a crowd of men, women, and children), Doorgopaul and his ruffians betook themselves to a mud fort class by, where they remained until near midnight, and then went Leib the jungle. Previous to leaving the mud fort, however, they sat fire to two.empty huts belonging to.Doorgopani, to serve, it is sup posed, as some pretext for murder. Doorgopaul secreted himself iu the jungle for three days, and was taken one morning as early as four o'clock`, as hewaspiteeing through a village, called Ryabbarine belonging to Rajah Alahtaje Chat_ tau Sing. He was mount e d on a common tattoo ; and ICCOM psnied only by a little boy named Ryahbenee. Being questioned by the Chowkeyders, he told them his name, upon which they took him in custody; stating, that he stood accused of murdering two men. He endeavoured afterwards to escape, but too strictly watched. Up to the 7th inst., the date of our correspon dent's letter, the bodies of the unfortunate murdered men bad not been found, nor bad the elephants and pultouti bent taken into custody. It was supposed they had croaked the Ganges, in the directi on of Rhauglipor e .
